Overview
- The new 41‑kilometer link, which opened Sunday, connects Buenavista station in central Mexico City to Felipe Ángeles International Airport through 12 stops using the city’s Mobility Card.
- Heavy demand in the first weekday rush produced packed trains, 30–40 minute hold‑ups at Lechería, and nonworking reload machines that led station staff to wave riders through at times.
- Operators are running four of the 10 planned trains with 30‑minute gaps between departures, and they aim to cut headways to 12 minutes as more trains enter service.
- The full trip is taking about 50–60 minutes at launch, and authorities set a 43‑minute target once speeds and frequencies stabilize.
- A one‑month promo fare is in place at 45 pesos for the full trip or 11.50 pesos from any branch station to the airport, and officials are pressing ahead with a Pachuca extension now 30% built and a major Buenavista rebuild.
